Dumfries Sports Club

This weekend (7th & 8th June) sees Dumfries Tennis Club hosting the D&G Confined Senior Championships for the second year running.

This event is open to players who were born in, currently living in, or are part of a Club within Dumfries and Galloway. A strong field is expected with the gent’s singles and Ladies Doubles taking place on Saturday and the Gents Doubles and Ladies Singles on Sunday.

Unfortunately no ladies events were run last year both the gents singles champion Colin Dunbar and Doubles Champions Brian Litster and Fraser Paterson return to defend their trophies and already 23 players have signed up for the events. This event is growing year on year and the continued support from the sponsors MolPlant Construction and Scott Beveridge Plumbing is very much appreciated by Tennis Dumfries and Galloway.

Play is due to start at 10.30am on both days.
